Written in lively prose and with astute insight, this book carefully documents how traditional beliefs have resisted change and slowed economic progress throughout human history. Using the interdisciplinary focus of evolutionary economists, its author surveys ancient, medieval, and modern times. He argues persuasively that policy prescriptions would be more effective if economists better understood how historically significant events and ideas shed light on the problems of today.
